Ryanair Medical Equipment Waiver

Having just spent £6 on nothing holding for Ryanair for over an hour, hoping to get a medical equipment baggage waiver form, I almost lost the will to live.

What a devious way to make money.

However, I still need my waiver so I can take my CPAP machine on the plane.

Any ideas please?

    It seems you can carry it on but not use it.

    You could try via their Facebook or Twitter page.

    What I normally do is make a quick phone call for permission to carry my cpap machine as additional cabin baggage and I normally get a validation paper emailed to me.



    But I didn't manage a quick phone call today, I hung up after 63 minutes of being on hold with the most irritating tune.

    Call their Irish number using one of the low cost call providers from this site.

    It might take just as long but won't cost you £6.00 a time.
